| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the three-man-weave college basketball podcast. |
| 0:16.4 | Yes, it's April 1st. |
| 0:18.5 | It's April Fool's Day. |
| 0:19.8 | There will be no jokes tonight because, as I told the |
| 0:23.5 | fellows before, the show, I am extremely gullible and I fall for every single April Fool's joke |
| 0:29.9 | there is known to man. That's a little fact, Jim, you didn't know about me. Jim, Jim, Jim Root. Hey, |
| 0:35.4 | you guys know him from Vegas and everything he does out there. |
| 0:38.1 | What's up, man? I thought you were choking at that intro. You're a little, like, welcome. It was so exaggerated that I was concerned for your well-being. But I'm glad you're okay. You took a sip of water. You're ready to rock. Matt, you're back in Chicago. No more traveling for you. are you ready to talk final four you know i'll be honest i'm actually ready to talk national title game |
| 0:57.4 | the game that no more traveling for you. Are you ready to talk Final Four? |
| 1:13.7 | You know, I'll be honest. I'm actually ready to talk national title game, the game that should feature Gonzag and Baylor. So the whole week for me is basically how can we ensure, how can we assure that Houston and UCLA just roll over and provide us the game that we all want? That's all I really care about. I'm trying to fast forward through Saturday, get to Monday for the grand spectacle that we've all been waiting for all season. I'm so annoyed. I have to watch UCLA play again. I'm tired. I'm over it. The whole pack, like you mentioned it, Jim, the horseshoe was shoved up Oregon State's ass, and then they tossed to UCLA. So now UCLA's got it on their butt, and hopefully Gonzaga it just dislodges it and we can actually see some quality basketball on Monday. The sisterhood of the traveling horseshoe is what we'll call it. It's the Pac-12. Hey, we got a good show today. It's the final four show. We're going to, of course, talk about both games in detail, break them down for you, give our thoughts. Also, we're going to hit a lot of the coaching carousel news that's been coming out. A lot of hirings, a lot of firings, some retirements. I figure we should catch up on that at the very least in our Roots Roundup section. Don't worry. We're going to have a huge transfer show later on in the offseason. It's going to be great. I have been so deep in the portal the last two or three days. I know the portal better than I know my own family at this point. It is, it's exciting. I find it fun. Like I know there are people that are like, I can't believe how many people there are in this. This is so bad. It's not bad. Who's it bad for? Is it bad for you? Because you have to track them? |
| 2:35.0 | No, I'm tracking them and I'm saying it's not bad. So it's fine. Yeah, I'm excited to like peel open that sheet gin that you've been tirelessly working on. Like, whoa, why is this guy here? Whoa, why? I had a lot of that going through the list. It's going to be a fun little, fun little Christmas morning experience for me. |
| 2:36.7 | It'll be a fun show as well, Matthew. |
| 2:37.3 | But guys, |

He's great. 3MW underscore CBB is our Twitter handle, and it's our Instagram. check those out if you want more college basketball content and or picks of the guys. |

| 2:56.6 | Frankly, though, we don't post enough picks of ourselves. We should do that more. Jim, |
| 3:02.4 | let's do that more. I'm camera shy. You are. Well, I don't know. You're on a lot of shows. |
| 3:04.9 | Are you? Are you like a Barbara Streisand? |
| 3:41.2 | She had stage fright. She mentioned she had stage. Oh, I thought you were like talking about the Streisand effect. No, I don't have that. Yes, Matthew, that's the lesser. That's not a good song. I don't like that song. I hate that song too. It's a terrible song. Please do subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcast, Amazon, Spotify.
